Texture Pad
– This method involves the use of a textured pad to change the surface of the glass. These pads come in a wide variety of designs. These pads can be purchased on line, or locate a dealer near you.

Kiln Carving
– Simple and elegantly sweet this method can be done in any size kiln, and doesn’t require you to be an expert in glass fusing. It also doesn’t require any expensive equipment or materials to accomplish.

These are just a few of the ways you can add some texture to glass. Use them to create depth and dimension to any of your fused glass projects.
